2023 Year In Review - Easy Allies Podcast - Dec 29, 2023 (Pluto: At least watch the"Unending Layoffs" section of the video; it is depressing and really shows problems with the game industry)

cross-posted from: hexbear.net/post/1495034

The “Unending Layoffs” section goes starts at 2:44 of the video.

Lasts about 14 minutes, but it’s quite powerful.

Also, I’m at around the 1:00:00 mark and they’ve mentioned the “live-service bubble” here and there. What can I say? I like Easy Alllies, or EZA, for comments like that. I wish there were more “leftist” gaming podcasts, but I believe that EZA aren’t ostensibly “leftist” and I’ve only started listening to them within the last month.

They avoid politics for the most part, which is why I was surprised to hear all this.

Oh yeah, and they accepted their trans friend and she’s a valued member on the show.

  2. The current layoffs are actually just a return to pre covid levels. The gaming companys went on a hiring spree during covid and now they can’t pay for people doing essentially nothing
